Re: News - Amazon announces e-book sales have overtaken hardbacks

Its not the price of the ebook readers that I think is a joke its the fact the ebooks cost the same or more than the paperback version. Until this is rectified I will always get the paper version as I am getting more value for money.

Re: News - Amazon announces e-book sales have overtaken hardbacks

People are buying the ebook rather than the hardback edition. Which says to me that people want the book asap but don't want to lug the tomb that is a hardback or pay the extra for the health benefits that entails.

I've always wondered just how many copies of hardbacks they actually sell. Always assumed it was a fraction of what the paperback sold.
